Question

One bucket of shells weighs 4.13 kg.Another weighs 5.9 kg.The weight of each shell is 0.295 kg. How many shells are there on both the buckets

Answer 1

1st bucket shells = 4.13 kgs

2nd bucket shells = 5.9 kgs

total shells = 10.03 kgs

weight of 1 shell = 0.295 kg

no of shells = 10.03 ÷ 0.295

= 34 shells

Answer 2

weight of1shell =0.295 kg

weight of first bucket=4.13 kg

no of shells in 1st bucket=4.13÷0.295

=14

weight of 2nd bucket=5.9 kg

no of shells in 2nd bucket=5.9÷0.295

=20

shells in both the buckets=20+14

=34 shells
